Madhubani Painting: WIP


Base: Sketch Paper
Made Using:Black Fine Liner Pen
Topic: This is my another attempt of free hand Madhubani Painting. I am making it a colorful one. Till then, enjoy this Work in Progress.
P.S: Madhubani painting has been done traditionally by the women of villages around the present town of Madhubani (the literal meaning of which is forests of honey).The painting was traditionally done on freshly plastered mud wall of huts, but now it is also done on cloth, hand-made paper and canvas.(Source:wikipedia)

    I can't wait to see the finished piece; it looks great so far! And it was interesting learning about Madhubani painting. I would love to see one of these painted mud huts!

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read.
